G. Cleanup and joint movement
Remove all excess cement from around the pipe and fitting
with a dry cotton rag. This must be done while the cement is
still soft.
The joint should not be disturbed immediately after the
cementing procedure, and sufficient time should be allowed
for proper curing of the joint. Exact drying time is difficult to
predict because it depends on variables such as temperature,
humidity and cement integrity. For more specific information,
you should contact your solvent cement manufacturer.
STEP G
T & P VALVE and PIPE INSULATION
Remove insulation for T & P Valve and pipe connections from
carton.
Fit pipe insulation over the in-coming cold water line and the hot
water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover
of the heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation
does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.
